......using my new Bushhawk Shoulder Brace and processing in Lightroom 1.1. The shoulder brace does work well, but I would say it is a bit overpriced for what it is. Using the D2Xs and the Bigma out to 500 it was a lot more steady than just hand holding, but I am yet to try it with birds in flight. I am going to attach a quick release base clamp to the unit so I can adjust the camera back and forth, with long lens plates on the lenses'. The Shoulder Brace is made of moldered plastic, and to me a bit on the light side and will not stand a lot of rough work but great for a back pack which is their market. It makes holding a very long Len's much better.

Processing in Lightroom was quick and easy, and I need to use it a bit more before I decide which is better NX, LIGHTROOM or PSCS2 or a combination as I have been using

Not the best background for these birds but it was raining a little so it was all I had
Shot at 80th @ 6.3 so not a lot of DOF

Lovely work Bernie. Bird is sharp and well defined and I like the shallow DOF (even the grey background that results). I find the face a little better defined in #1, but both are good captures.

Brace yourself Bernie - excellent pics

Sharp as a tack and a beautiful image Bernie. You are lifting the standard of the forum.

Thanks all...... though you would like to see the full frame
